All Inclusive: Vacation Between Longing and Reality
A sea of towels, two bodies, the sun rising and setting: The collective OBJECTION brings an absurd yet touching performance to the Theaterwerkstatt Bethel with All Inclusive. The performance combines material theater, performative images, and a precisely observed dramaturgy of waiting.
A Journey into the So-Called Good Life
On stage, the vacation begins as a promise: finally switching off, having time, escaping everyday life. Yet beneath the surface of the holiday idyll, the crises remain present, which cannot simply be left at the hotel reception. The production transforms familiar vacation motifs into a poetic tension between relaxation, overload, and the longing for security.
Towels as Set Design and Memory Storage
The set design works with an everyday object that takes on new meanings throughout the performance. Towels carry travel memories, are cleansed of vacation sins, and develop their own scenic language. From the seemingly harmless, a powerful theater atmosphere emerges, where material, bodies, and space interplay.
Performance Between Comedy and Quiet Unrest
All Inclusive moves between absurd comedy and thoughtful precision. The acting art of the performers Elisabeth Graaf and Laura Marleen Kreutz does not follow a classical character-driven narrative but a physical and visual dramaturgy. Direction, text, scenography, and video art converge into a stage experience that lets familiar longings shine through while simultaneously unveiling their contradictions.
An Evening for Curious Theatergoers
The production is aimed at an audience aged 12 and above and lasts for 75 minutes. It is recommended for anyone who wants to experience contemporary theater, free performing arts, and unusual forms of stage art. Admission follows the principle of Pay What You Can, making the theater evening accessible to different possibilities.
Conclusion: Vacation as a Mirror of Our Present
All Inclusive promises no carefree short vacation but an insightful theatrical journey through wish images, exhaustion, and the hope for a good life. Those wishing to experience performative theater with sensuous stage images, precise dramaturgy, and social resonance will find a unique and powerful evening at the Theaterwerkstatt Bethel.
